Dr.Steve, I'm rethinking the spring swap-out. Give me a buzz at the office tomorrow so we can chat about it.

Dr.Steve, are you going to be at the shop today? I'd like to bring by my new headlight bulbs & turn signal bulbs so my lighting's ready for the weekend. Then I'll come back tomorrow to pick up the FPD

Sure did, it came within 100 yards of my house. I took the day off just so I could watch the race go by. Chris and Cliff came up to watch with me.

Nope. TVS is Eatons new Supercharger, the one that one day may be a replacement for our cars. Actually the ZR1 did the ring in 7:29.

I agree with Dr. Steve. The vette has a supercharger and makes something like 645 HP or something.

I mean I was in the Audi - Porsche showroom and they had a $92k Audi there with only 350hp. Yea the BMW M5 is fast, not this fast, but it's over $100k Plus it's still a BMW Joe, you in the market?
